I spoke to a builder this morning about having it removed to create an it more space in our kitchen - as we are a GFF it sounds like we will have to have a lowered box in our ceiling to accommodate the support beams?
I was hoping to create a bit more space by having it removed, any ideas how I can cleverly layout my kitchen since we can't remove the chimney breast? The door is on the left of the kitchen, where the chimney breast is so I think changing it to accomodate tree oven and hob might look strange...
